“Now, with GPS and phones being a lot more accurate, it'll give us a lot more accurate location of that phone call, which will either give a better representation of where that call came from to first responders, but it also helps route that to the proper public safety answering point, be it Allen County Sheriff's Office or the Lima Police Department,” said Jared Gesler, Allen County EMA director and 9-1-1 coordinator.

Allen County Homeland Security & EMA deploys new command bus

The Allen County EMA received its new command bus this week. The new command bus was ordered two years ago but has been in the works for quite some time. The bus is deployed when there is an incident where there is a need for a command post that is greater than just a cruiser or fire truck. Their old bus was built in 1994, and they purchased it from Pennsylvania a little under 10 years ago, so it was time for an upgrade.
